[Geoserver-devel] Work with IDEA

GeoServer GeoServer Developer

I want to make some customization to Geoserver, so I tried to build Geoserver from source at first by following the docs(https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/quickstart/intellij.html)

1 First clone the codes, and run mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true in /geoserver/src directory. The build was completed successfully.

2 Import it to IDEA
After import and setup the required configuration, I tried to start geoserver by org.geoserver.web.Start.main(), however the following error message came out:

Information:java: Errors occurred while compiling module 'gs-platform'
Information:javac 11 was used to compile java sources
Error:java: Illegal/unsupported escape sequence near index 13
D:\workspace\java\geoserver\src\platform\target/generated-sources/.*

This is the Start Configuration: https://i.imgur.com/CZ6CtJI.png

Then I tried to start it directly by mvn jetty:run from /geoserver/src/web/app, it worked.

However, if this is the desired workflow, it means every time I change the codebase, I have to install again , and run jetty, it is time-consuming and unacceptable.

So I wonder how you work with IDEA during development?

I have some notes from a foss4g workshop, but have not had the time to add to the developer guide.
Critical thing is to use Java 8, and then install the error prone plugin for compiling (against java 8).

I use the JettyRunner plugin with this config which has worked for what I’ve needed to do
